I have followed available tutorials and searched around for answers but cannot find them. I have just added the npm package via the extensions tab and restarted the computer. I cannot get npm to be recognized in the terminal:
PS E:\Web Apps> npm
npm : The term 'npm' is not recognized...
Does this have to do with the directory? If so, not sure where to change the directory to.
To use npm on the terminal, you need to install nodejs. See this for window instruction.
You must install NodeJS in your system to access npm.
You can install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download/

I just recently discovered the npm scripts section in VSCode. Now I'm wondering, is there also a way to run npm scripts from the command pallete?
I wasn't able to find any documentation on this, besides defining and launching build and test tasks. In a few results from Google, people were able to run npm scripts by typing > npm: taskname, but for some reason this won't work for me. I suspect this changed when VSCode natively implemented the script runner.
When I try to run "npm" from VS Code terminal, I get the error "The term 'npm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."
Now, when using Command Prompt and navigated to the project folder, I verify that node.js is installed and from the command prompt I verify that npm is installed.
However, when in VSCode terminal window, neither node.js nor npm is found to be installed.
What am I missing here?
I have come across this problem before. Here is a list of potential solutions:
Make sure your terminal opens up in your project folder. Sometimes when we open our project or the terminal in visual studio, we are not directly in the right folder. Use the command cd projectName in the terminal to navigate
Did you run the npm install -g npm command in your project's terminal?
If so, use node -v and npm -v to check versions.
If not, run the command npm install -g npm in your project's terminal
Try reinstalling npm with the npm install -g npm
I have tried to install ionic on Windows but installation has failed. What should I do?
I have tried more than 20 times but still I got the same problem.
Here I have attached the screenshot for this
Entered commands:
npm install -g cordova
npm install -g ionic
Note: this one windows server machine
My guess is that the NPM global path has not been added to your windows path.
These are the steps to try:
First verify that the command just installed can run. The output contains the full path to the command installed, just copy and paste it to the command line. In your case it might be something like this %APPDATA%\Roaming\npm\iconic -v
Lets assume that works. That means that the command was successfully installed and will run, now we need to add it to your PATH so you can run it from the command line.
Next, Press Windows key and type "path" and select "Edit environment variables for your account". From here. Add or append the path %APPDATA%\Roaming\npm to your PATH variable, and save the results.
Once it is on your PATH you can run it from any command shell window.
Next, start a new command shell (e.g., Windows+R, cmd, Enter) and then type the command iconic -v. Viola, it should work without requiring the full path to the script.
I'm doing most of this from memory so hopefully it's correct. But if it needs some tweeks, let me know and I'll update the answer.
For completness, this install didn't actually fail. The lines with fsevents are warnings. The fsevents package is only designed to work on Mac Unix so these warnings can be safely ignored.
As Suraj Rao mentioned, also see Nodejs cannot find installed module on Windows?.
So I saved an external JS file for a project I was working on. And when I did that at the top of my editor I got this error:
2.[jshint] Failed to load jshint library. Please install jshint in your workspace folder using 'npm install jshint' or globally using 'npm install -g jshint' and then press Retry.
What exactly am I supposed to do to fix these errors? I've seen other people post this issue but I don't understand the solutions that people have been giving them. Can anyone walk me through fixing these two issues in plain, easy to understand English?
The first error means that vscode can not find an install of npm. We use npm to install files that power IntelliSense for external modules such as express.
To fix it:
Install node/npm if you have not already: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Restart VS Code
If you still see this warning message after doing this, take a look at the docs on this. The workaround is to set "typescript.npm" to point to where npm is installed on your computer, for example:
"typescript.npm": "/Users/matb/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.1/bin/npm"
The second error means that vscode cannot find a copy of the jshint library. As the error messages says, the fix is to use npm to install a copy of jshint in your workspace. From a commandline in your workspace, run:
npm install jshint
For all your workspaces (globally)
npm install -g jshint
I am installing ionic 2 on my Computer. Already installed Node js 0.12 with npm.
I succeed to install ionic 2 but when I check using my cmd it just gives Error "Ionic not recognized as external command"
The question is not clear enough. I would like you to tell more about the error.
Looking at the "not recognized as external command". It looks like you have not added ionic PATH as environment variable.
You can also try to clean the npm cache and re install ionic, it should work. Had a similar issue some time back. It had worked.
